Interviewed May 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 weeks)
Interviewed right after graduating college, for an entry level job. After briefly meeting with the recruiter, met with the manager for the department and a supervisor. VERY glad to find out how informal the interview itself was, as they didn't ask the standard "what are your strengths and weaknesses" type questions. She stated that it would be more conversation like and instead they focused on my resume and I was asked to explain things I was involved in, etc. Very straightforward about what the job consisted of and that it would be semi-repetitive. Answered questions I had very thoroughly. Overall, a very simple and non-stressful experience.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took a day)
Three people were involved in the interview process. Basic description of the job was given, and was later questioned on what my understanding of the position entailed based off of previous response. Position stressed attention to detail and organization. Advice to future interviewees: Pay close attention to the job description that is being given and tailor your answers to future questions around this description so as to fit their needs.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Was initially contact by HR and an interview was scheduled. I believe they had not looked at my resume thoroughly. The interview seemed disintered in me. Did not have a copy of my resume on her desk. Did not ask any questions of me and terminated interview very early. May have been that the interviewer was expected some younger.

Met with a team lead who manages a couple of associates who ultimately reports to the department manager. Then met with the manager himself.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
It was a pretty standard interview. IT was conducted on campus. I was contacted via e-mail. As for the interview itself, it was mostly traditional interview questions with a few behavioral questions thrown in. Not very difficult from my point of view. Also, the interviewer did a pretty good job of making the environment less stressful. Altogether, it was a pretty pleasant experience.
